United League Teams Still Need Parks

NEW YORK, NY. March 15, 1912 - With less the one half of a month left, the United League's future is looking grim. Only two teams, the Chicago Orphans and the Cincinnati Ruby Legs have secured a lease on a ballpark for the 1912 season.

With limited financial backing, most owners do not have enough capital to build their own parks. And with every single outlaw league before this ending in a colossal financial failure, ballpark owners are reluctant to lease out their fields.

President Willman will hold a press conference tomorrow to discuss the future of the league.
